A GOOD WORD FOR NEVADA.
The Surveyor g eneral's Report as an
Offset for Stubs M Future" Tes-



Offset for Stubs "NO Future" Tes-
timOny.
The San Francisco AHa in discussing the
annual report of Surveyor -General Irish,
says that it places Nevada before the country
in more favorable light than heretofore, for
its nick name, the "Sage brush State" has
given the east wrong impression. This is
true. If the officers estimate is correct, and
$1,000 square miles may be brought into til
lage by use of waste waters and artesian
wells for irrigation, wealthy and perma
nent population is implied. That area is
nearly half as large as Iowa; it is FIVE times
as large as Connecticut, ten lines as Dele.
ware, more than twice as large as Massa-
chusetts, New Hampshire or New Jersey,
and ne arly twenty times as large as Rhode
Island.
Rhode Island has population OF $4,000
and when one considers the resources of Ne
vada, aside from those purely agricultural,
there seems TO be no reason why it should
not become a largely populated State. The
mines of Nevada produced last year nearly
$40, 1000, 900, and the stock interest nearly
as much, so We can see nc reason why the
State should not attract immigration and
take high rank. 1t has been called '''rot
ten borough" and subjected to unmerited
abuse, which 1t is time to resent.
The people who are there have held the
fort like brave froniiersmen. 1t takes about
TWO generations Of such to fix the conditions
and the clock is approaching the hour OF
destiny for Nevada. An accession Of popu
islion means not only the development Of
her agricultural resources but Of her mines
ana stock interest.

A Fox HUT.

Attractions of every description are being
devised for the enter tainment Of visitors to
the State Fair. Everything that promise,
to be interesting will be INDUCED in if the
Board can secure it. The Vail Bros, of
this county. are now talking of sending their
stag hounds to the Fair and also trapping
some coyotes and having race similar to a
fox hunt. These dogs are splendid animals
and it is said that they can give a coyote a
start Of 100 yards and catch him before he
goes 500 yards. This would be an exciting
feature and interesting to all to witness.

Water Trouble.

For about a week, up to last Saturday,
the Cordelli Bios, Italian ranchers on the
Carson river had men with shotguns parad.
ing up and down the big Italian ditch owned
by Johnny Ghgliri and others, TO prevent
the water from being turned onto the GhigIIn
ranch. Mr.. Ghiglir stood the pressure as
seeing that his crops were drying up, he
came up to the gate and turned the water
onto his ranch in spite of shotguns, guards
and dogs. As soon as Cordelli heard of this
he came Immediately to town and it was sup
posed from all the talk that was done that
there would be regular Italian war IN no
time. Matters were settled up, however,
without bloodshed. 1t seems that the
Ghigliri ditch was built some 80 years ago
and the RICH, calls for all the water that goes
over the Rock Point dam, while the Cordelli
ditch takes the water from the tail race of
the Rock Point mill after it goes through the
mill. This ditch was built about years
ago. Water is so scarce now that the mill is
shut down and all the water is going over
the dam, and Ghigliri's right calls for this
water. Cordelli's ranch is below Ghlgliri S
and Cordell was shutting the water out OF
the Ghigliri ditch. We believe the matter
has now been settled SO that both parties
will have about an equal share Of the water,
and their crops will not suffer very much.

RIDDLEBERGER.
He is Released From Jail BY a
Large Mob.

4sIOOs
WINCHESTER, Va, Aug. 13.-The cir
cumstances leading up to the arrest of
Senator Riddleberger are related as fol-
lows by an eye witness: On Thursday
w. c. Jones was tried for larceny and
the jury found that he was insane.
Jones was client of Senator Riddle
berger's and the verdict made the sena-
tor angry. He was accused of writing
placard and giving boy 81 to haul
Jones up and down the town, the latter
displaying the placard meanwhile,
which had written on it: ''Verdict-
Bill Jones not guilty, but insane. Jury
insane, lawyers insane, court insane in
the main." The noise OccaSiOned by
this display disturbed the proceedings
of the court, then in session, and the
commonwealth attorney, j. G. Baker,
had the judge issue an order for Sena-
tor Riddleberger to appear before Judge
Newman and show cause why he rid
dleberger) should not be finedaand i'm
prisoned for ridiculing the judge and
fury and disturbing the court. At 5
o'clock Senator Riddleberger appeared
before the court and defended himself.
He said that Judge Newman had
no jurisdiction in the case, which the
iudge denied and asked Senator Rid
dleberger to sit down until the evidence
could be taken to prove that he Ghe
senator) W. S the one who instigated the
Iidicule and then he said the court
would hear argument. Senator Riddle
berger would not sit down and the
dOurt fined him S25. He then defied the
court and said: ''This court shall not
send me to jail" Judge Newman then
fold the sheriff to take the senator to
iaii for five days. Senator Riddleberger
said he would like to see the man who
could take him to jail, and Sheriff Whit
man at once arrested the senator and
locked him up. This action caused
much excitement, and this morning at
2 O'Clock mob of 100 men, supposed to
be from Edinburg, in this county, scaled
the walls of the Jail yard and took the
senator out ON ladders. Senator Rid
dleberger is on the street at this writ

BULGARIA.
Prince Ferdinand Received With
Enthusiasm.

RUsTcHUK, Aug. 13.-Prince Ferdi-
nand arrived here last night. His COM
ing was announced by salvos of artil-
lery. The houses and streets were pro-
fuSely decorated and the whole town
was Illuminated. A banquet in the
princes honor was given during the
evening and Prince Ferdinand delivered
an Grafton in the Bulgarian language,
his remarks being received with great
enthusiasm. Vast multitudeS assembled
to meet the prince, and extraordinary
enthusiasm was displayed. At the
banquet in the evening Nj. Nikif-
Oroff, who was one of the leaders
of the conspiracy which resulted in the
deposition of Prince Alexander, in pro-
posing a toast to Prince Ferdinand, ex-
pressed confidence in the fidelity of the
prince, and in his ability to maintain
the independence of Bulgaria. He also
said: I'VE will cover the Balkans with
cOrpses rather than allow enemies to
enter our country" After the feast
Prince Ferdinand was lifted upon the
shoulders of some of the officers present
and carried in triumph from the BAN
quet hall.
SOFIA. Aug. 13.-A tedeum was sung
in the cathedral to-day in honor of Prince
Ferdinand. Archbishop Clement in an
address said there was reason to hope
that the prince would find means to
reconcile Russia to approve his assump-
ton of the Bulgarian throne. Under
the prince everybody in the country
would be able to freely express his
opinions without fear of arrest
